Through its magnetic pole the North captures the full energy of the 72 kalas of the Moon but cannot use it itself, and passes it on to the North-North-West (and to the North-North-East). This makes the North-North-West the zone of attraction, used for example to attract customers.
An overhead tank can be built anywhere from the West to the North-West; NNW and the South-West are wrong, and a tank over the staircase is best avoided.
A lift belongs to the fire element; its pit may be dug in ESE and SE, but from SSE onward only a pitless lift is allowed. The lift zones named are ESE and, best of all, WNW and NW, then SE; SSE only pitless, NNW only in an emergency and never the North.
In NNW the influence of Kuber's North spreads sideways and attraction is strongest, so it is the zone of sex and attraction. It is the best bedroom for a newly married couple and suits display and dressing.
In the North, N3 brings sons and wealth, N4 (Bhallat) is the best of all 32 doors with windfall wealth, and N5 gives wealth with dharma and fame. N1, N2, N6, N7 and N8 bring suffering, enemies, family stress, faults in women and poverty.
A strong planet makes its direction the best facing, entrance and bedroom location, while a debilitated planet or a lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house makes the same direction one to avoid.
A family photo should show everyone full length with smiling faces, and the faces of the living must turn to the North, the living direction; NNW suits family attraction, but the direction the faces look matters more than the wall.
Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.
A kitchen in the North-North-West brings quarrels between husband and wife and discord (klesh) in the home; this has been seen in many houses.
